Metro Bank is a full service state chartered commercial bank with eight locations in east-central Alabama.  We offer a full line of banking solutions for every need.  Personal and business checking and investment accounts, programs for mortgage loans, consumer and commercial lending, home mortgages, and equity lines of credit to name a few.  Metro Bank has been listed consistently in the American Banking Journal as one of the top 50 banks in the United States in its size category.  We have been named as one of the ten best places to work in Alabama by the Birmingham Business Journal.

 

On May 30, 1989, we opened our bank with ten employees and $2 million in total assets.  We are now a half billion-dollar bank with over 140 employees in eight locations:  three in Pell City, and one each in Ragland, Lincoln, Heflin, Ashville, and Southside.  Metro Bank continues to build on the philosophy of friendly, caring bankers that work to meet the needs of our communities.
